1. INTRODUCTION

   Have people ever thought that we can control the volume of your Television sitting on your sofas 60 years back from now? But now we are controlling it with a wireless remote. Soon technologies are coming so that we can control the volume of TV using the motion of the hands.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

   N. Sriskanthan and Tan Karand in their work have presented an application of Bluetooth Technology for Home

   Previous Research on existing Home Automation Systems:

   Automation. The Bluetooth technology which emerged in late 1990's is used for implementing the wireless home automation system. Various appliances such as air conditioners, home theatres, cellular phones etc., are interconnected, thus creating a Personal Area Network in Home Environment. The communication between several client modules and the host server takes place through the Bluetooth module. A Home Automation Protocol has been developed to enhance communication between the host server and the client

   modules. The system also allows integration or removal of devices to the network which makes the system scalable. The wireless system aims at reducing the cost of Home Automation. But the system does not use the trending mobile technology.

   A. Z. Alkar and U. Buhur have developed an internet based wireless

   home automation system for multifunctional devices. A flexible, low cost, wireless solution

   to the home automation is introduced. The transformation of the initial

   simple functionality control mechanism of devices to more complex devices has been discussed. The home appliances are connected through a server to a central node.

   The system is secure from unauthorized users by using SSL algorithm. During tests, the wireless communication was found to be limited to <100 meters in a concrete building

   Muhammad Izhar Ramli, Mohd Helmy Abd Wahab, Nabihah developed a prototype electrical device control system using Web. They have developed a web based controller, for controlling electrical devices. Whenever the condition of server is down they also set their server with auto restart. The system does not use mobile technolo

   gy. Being a web based system;this application is less effective since the use of headphones and Smart phones is increasing rapidly.

   E. Yavuz, B. Hasan, I. Serkan and K. Duygu have designed and implemented a telephone and PIC remote Controlled device for controlling the home electrical devices. In this Pin check algorithm has been introduced where it was with cable network and not wireless communication. The system ensures safety as it cannot be used by unauthorized users as the system uses Pin check system. The architecture is very complex, but it gives an idea of remote handling of home automation system.

   Shahriyar, E. Hoque, M. M. Akbar, S. Sohan, I. Naim, and M. K. Khan presented a GSM based communication and control for home appliances. Different AT commands are sent to the Home Mobile for controlling different The drawback of this system is that a appliances.Graphical User Interface (GUI) is not provided to the user. Different AT commands have to be remembered by the users to control the connected devices. Also, the system supports Java enabled mobile phones. The system thus

   becomes less functional as nowa days the use of Java enables phones are reducing and the use of Android phones are increasing tremendously.

   Jitendra Rajendra Rana and Sunil N.Pawar in their paper have implemented a zigbee based home automation system. Zigbee is a high level communication protocol used to create personal area network. It supports any kind of micro controller. The system eliminates the complication of wiring in case of wired automation. Considerable amount of power saving is also possible. Operating range is more than Bluetooth. But the system does not allow remote monitoring and controlling of appliances.

   R. Piyare and M. Tazil have presented the design and implementation of a low cost, flexible and wireless solution to the home automation. The system uses Bluetooth technology where the cell phone is used for interaction between the host server and the client modules. This system can be used by any appliances that require On

   -off switching applications without any internet connection. The drawback of this system was that the wireless communication system was found to be limited to a range less than 50m in a concreted building and maximum of 100m range in an open range. The system supports only the symbian OS cell phones.

   1. IOT (Internet of Things):The rapid development of information technology (IT) has brought forward a hyper connected society in which objects are connected to mobile devices and the Internet and communication with one another. In the 21st century,we want to connected with anything,anytime and various places around the world.The core component of this hyper connected society is IoT,which is also referred to as machine to machine communication or IoE(Internet of Everything).

   2. IR Sensor

   An infrared sensor is an electronic device, that emits in order to sense some aspects of the surroundings. An IR sensor can measure the heat of an object as well as detects the motion.

   When somebody enters the room the sensors at the one end are programmed in such a way that on consecutive operation of two LED complies micro- controller to count as a person to be entering the room. This information can be further used to manipulate the operation of electronic appliances automatically. When the display shows a zero then all the appliances will be signaled to turn off, this helps in the energy efficient housing system.

   Moreover, the number of persons inside the big halls, malls can be easily identified.

   5. ESP8266

   ESP8266 is a SOC with capabilities for 2.4GHz wi-fi, GPIO,Inter-integrated Circuit,10-bit ADC,and SPI,I2S interfaces with DMA ,UART ,and PWM. It employs a 32-

   bit RISC CPU based on the Tensilica Xtensa LX106 running at 80 MHz .It has a 64 KB bot ROM,64 KB instruction RAM and 96 KB data RAM .External flash memory can be accessed through SPI.

3. CONCEPT REVIEW

   The main aim of the project is to develop a system that will provide remote control of home appliances and also provide security against the mishaps when the home host is not at home. This paper is mainly concerned with the automatic internet. It is meant to save the electric power and human energy. This project is made with the help of controller and raspberry pi. The various appliances connected to the micro- controller and sensor is connected using wireless network.This project proposes a smart home in which the appliances can be easily monitored, anytime.

   The proposed project is conceived networking our mobile phone to all appliances via a smart logic circuit. The end user can use their mobile phone to log into the system. When a user selects a change in the status for any of the device, the data from the handheld is sent to the Web Server in a string format, where the Web site is hosted. On the server the status is stored in the database in their respective device field. At the Hardware end, the circuit drive program a web page] is used to retrieve the status of the devices in a timely pattern [every 10sec]. These changes come in to form of cookies [ temporary internet files] from the web server & are stored on the computer in the name of the web site. Hence every 10 sec as the page refreshes the new cookie values are updated.

   Using home automation is no longer reserved for the extremely wealthy or the tech lover. A smart home is becoming increasingly popular because there can be big rewards for the average homeowner with relatively small efforts and investments.
